I too still have to play Thanksgiving (and Halloween for that matter!!), so this has been quite helpful to read through and know I should stock up on some fish beforehand. ~ I might do the same for some spare characters to get some extra stuff. I aim to play Halloween this weekend and Thanksgiving the next, so I can pace myself through the events if needed.
I have already experienced Toy day though, before deleting my very first town. And that was a nightmare for me, I failed it with my main and my mule character, and ended up making a new character to actually complete it. @.@ and that was with clues from 7/9 of my villagers! I intend on writing down everything my villagers say through December now out of paranoia from that stress.
Heh...I read your Xmas spoiler and KNOW that I'll need some clues or I'll panic myself half to death.
Okay, for the Festival, I mainly needed a couple of Saddled Birchir, a couple of Carp, a couple of Crucian Carp, a couple of Black Bass, a lobster, a scallop, a clam, Horse Mackeral, and Red Snapper.
Not too bad since I had saved a few up...but I hadn't seen, or else I forgot, all about the "secret ingredient." >_< DO NOT FORGET THAT! You do and no cornucopia.
I love Thonky SOOO much. But not HALF as much as you guys here.
